Who can apply

Who do we help

The Glasspool Charity Trust only awards grants to residents of the UK. However under new tax transparency legislation we are required to obtain confirmation of their UK residency. To enable us to do this we have added a ‘self-certification’ tick box to our grant application forms which you will need to complete on behalf of your client(s).

Should their residency status change you will need to notify us and obtain from your client(s) any additional information required to comply with the Common Reporting Standard (CRS).

Third Party Organisations.

We do not accept applications directly from individual members of the public.

Only organisations that operate in England, Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland and meet our criteria are eligible to apply.

In order for an organisation to be eligible to apply they must be either:

A statutory organisation, charity, social enterprise, industrial or provident society, co-operative or community benefit society providing or funding support services such as: health or social care, rehabilitation, advice or advocacy services, or training and associated support; Or

A private company contracted by a statutory organisation to provide the support services outlined above.

The organisation must have a turnover of more than £25,000 per annum (the threshold over which an organisation must produce independently audited annual accounts).

If a charity, they must be registered with the Charity Commission. If a housing association they must be a private provider of social housing, registered with the Homes & Communities Agency.

Referring agencies must have a bank account in its own name and be able to bank and administer grants on our behalf. Payments will only be made to the referring agency.

Unfortunately we are unable to accept applications from your organisation if they do not meet the above criteria. If necessary please refer your client to an organisation that does.

If you are an individual who is in need please approach an approved organisation.
